Definitions

  • the technical field of this invention is related to producing super hydrophobic coatings on surfaces to produce self-cleaning, corrosion resistant surfaces.
  • This invention relates to appearance maintenance and enhancement, and protection of various surfaces from contaminants and from oxidation of surfaces in air and moisture.
  • One of the primary applications includes the use of this technology in vehicle appearance products.
  • products for similar applications are widely available on the market, these products often require rinsing with water after use and usually rely on a temporary hydrophilic surface.
  • water marks, smears or spots are left behind due to the deposits of minerals which were present as dissolved solids in water. This problem is apparent when cleaning glass, painted surfaces, steel, alloy, plastic or ceramic surfaces.
  • a means of solving this problem known in the literature is to dry the water from the surface using a cloth or chamois before the water marks form.
  • the lotus plant exhibits self cleaning properties because the surface of the leaves are covered with small nano sized projections, bumps or ridges. Surfaces exhibiting super hydrophobic characteristics due to nano sized irregularities thereof are often referred to as exhibiting the "Lotus Effect". Super hydrophobic coatings utilizing nano sized irregularities applied to a surface form a high contact angle which resist wetting and adherence of dirt and contaminants.
  • hygroscopic materials for producing this non-wetting and self-cleaning effect are fumed silica or tantania products sold under the trade name of MINCOR from BASF, and/or TEGOTOP from Degussa. Testing of these products have resulted in unsuitable coatings for application to substrates when coated alone or mixed with various types of hydrophobic particles, these and many other polymers, for example: acrylic resins, silicon containing graft copolymers, functional / non functional siloxanes, inorganic hybrids such as silsesquioxanes, acrylic polymers containing perfluoro pendant groups, TEFLON/NAFION type fluoro polymers, urethanes, fluorourethanes, polyethers, polyesters and silicon modified polyacrylates.
  • the resulting coating is initially super hydrophobic and may remain so for long periods indoors. However, when exposed to outdoor UV light, rubbed even slightly, or in general exposed to weather, the coating loses super hydrophobicity (which we define as the instant shedding of water with no remaining drops) and becomes less hydrophobic within days or even hydrophilic and hence less useful for the object of this invention.
  • U. S. patent 5,759,980 a composition
  • a surfactant package consisting of a silicone-based surfactant and a polymer which is capable of bonding to a surface to make a hydrophilic film which eliminates the problem of water marks.
  • this hydrophilic coating may tend to be removed from the surface by a single water rinse.
  • German publication DE- A21 61 591 also describes a composition for cleaning cars wherein the surface is again made hydrophilic by using amino functional polymers. This coating also tends to be rinsed off from a single rinse.
  • U.S. Patent 6,660,363 by Barthlott granted on December 9, 2003 teaches a means for permanently bonding hydrophobic polymers forming elevations and depressions between 5 to 200 nanometers creating a hydrophobic surface.
  • U.S. Patent 3,354,022 teaches that a permanent water repellant surface having a contact angle of more than 90 degrees can be formed from a polymer upon forming high and low projections having a high and low range of 1,000 microns or less.
  • U.S. Patent Application S.N. 2005/0136217 Al published on June 23, 2005 by Barthlott et al. teaches a coating producing protrusions and recesses in a ratio having a distance range of from 0.1 to 200 m and the height in a range of from 0.1 to 100 m.
  • U.S. Pat. Pub. No. 2004/0213904 describes a process for producing detachable dirt- and water-repellent surface coatings on articles. Hydrophobic particles are applied to the surface of the articles generating elevations on the surface of the articles that has dirt- and water-repellent properties. The process suspends the hydrophobic particles in a solution of an alkyl-modified silicone wax in a highly volatile siloxane. The suspension is applied to a surface of an article. The highly volatile siloxane is removed forming a coating. A disadvantage is that the coating appears to have a grayish or hazy layer. In another example, PCT WO97/48927 teaches a direct method of a cleaning composition, method of application and apparatus.
  • This reference describes using a spray gun comprising separate chambers for the cleaning solution and ion exchange resin. Moreover, it recommends to use purified rinse-water which is expensive to use.
  • purified rinse-water which is expensive to use.
  • the hydrophobicity of the surfaces is not sufficient enough to bead the water completely from the surface thereby leaving the water spot when the water dries.
  • the prior art relating to hydrophobic and/or self-cleaning coatings is primarily related to permanent attachment to the substrate being coated rather than being a temporary and replenish able coating.
  • U.S. Patent publication 20060110542 published on May 25, 2006 discloses a composition for forming a detachable and renewable protective coating produced by making a highly concentrated dispersion of hydroponically modified silica particles in the presence of a disilazane derivative under high shear conditions. Thus, a binder is required for the composition.

  • the super hydrophobic self cleaning coatings are used on exterior automotive and boat surfaces, and in many other applications, to produce a self cleaning surface, reduce adherence of dirt and contaminants to a treated surface, and reduce drag in some applications providing an energy savings.
  • the coating utilizes a blend of organic and/or inorganic polymers with hydrophobic nanoparticles of fumed silica and/or titania in a volatile solvent which evaporates at ambient temperature. The coating solves the problem of poor resistance to UV light, opaque appearance, and/or some abrasion resistance not found in previous coatings of similar nature.
  • a preferred coating has good resistance to UV light and some resistance to abrasion. Clear, nearly transparent and translucent coatings are produced as compared to conventional coatings of comparable hydrophobicity which are typically white or opaque.
  • the coating can be applied by a single and easy spraying method and the super hydrophobic property can be achieved by drying the film by evaporation of the solvent at ambient temperature for 5 to 10 minutes.

  • a coating composition which is super hydrophobic, and when applied on a surface, typically metal, fiberglass, plastic, ceramic, glass, painted material, etc. produces a difficult to wet surface.
  • Contact angles of a liquid such as water on the coated surface should be difficult to measure with conventional means because the water droplet bounces or runs off the surface when applied. The contact angle exceeds 165 degrees and the tilt angle of sliding is less than 2 degrees.
  • the present invention creates a super hydrophobic coatings (contact angle > 165 degree) on various surfaces, preferably plastics, metals, glass, fiberglass, ceramics, wood, and painted and/or waxed surfaces.
  • Super hydrophobic coatings of this type have recently been cited for the purpose of keeping surfaces cleaner, similar to the lotus plant, and the high contact angle is known as the "lotus effect" which depends upon having a hydrophobic surface formed of wax with an irregular surface texture caused by nanometer sized projections or irregularities whereby the surface area of a drop of liquid such as water is not great enough to overcome the high contact angle formed with the hydrophobic surface resulting in the liquid being repelled from the surface..
  • Examples of commercially available materials which attempt to produce this "Lotus" cleaning effect are products sold under the trade name of MINCOR available from BASF, and TEGOTOP available from Degussa. These products have been tested for their ability to protect various surfaces from the appearance of water marks, corrosion, and dirt repellency and while maintaining the water repellency, but were deemed unsuitable.
